According to Technical Support, Norton 360 for Android | iOS uses in-the-cloud scanning technology
But what is it?
According to the description of Bitdefender Antivirus Free:
“Instead of downloading and storing virus signatures directly to Android devices, Antivirus Free uses in-the-cloud services to check online for the latest safeguards to outbreaks. This not only results in super-fast scans, but in close to zero impact on battery life and device performance”
Ok?
